Increased competition, pressure on design cost and innovative designs have increased aircraft structural complexity and placed a strain on profitability. With structures warranting up to 60 percent of the non-recurring cost in an aircraft program, structural workflow pains can lead to program delays as much as five years and development overrun costs up to 50 percent. In parallel, the contractual penalties that manufacturers must pay customers are reaching billions of dollars.
In addition, global engineering teams are expanding the risk-sharing partners and suppliers involved in aircraft structural design & assessment, demanding improved traceability for certification and automation. The root problem in current aero structural workflows lies in the siloed approach involved disconnected systems, teams, and tools. The structural analysis involving design, loads calculation, finite element methods (FEM), and margin of safety is not fully integrated, resulting in communication delays, lack of traceability for certification, risk of errors and delays in implementing design changes.
A streamlined, end-to-end process with our solution portfolio brings CAD/CAE integration and automation, improving productivity by 30 percent and accelerating program development and certification by two years. This integrated approach utilizes the power of simulation data management and class-leading CFD and FEA tools for accurate loads generation, FEM and MOS analysis.
